Great company limited growth.

Pros

Colleagues are all smart and accomplished in their respective fields. The salary is quite good and competitive. The company is growing.

Cons

Not enough opportunities for career advancement or growth. There are essentially two options, applications or sales. Interaction between application engineers and developers is kept to a minimum.

Pros

1. Own office or shared office with another person 2. Free-lunch Fridays 3. Tea, coffee and fruits 4. Friendly and intelligent coworkers. 5. They process working visas for international people

Cons

1. No growth (professional nor intellectual). 2. Job titles don’t mean anything. Everyone seems to be a manager but everyone ends up doing the same type of work. 3. Your workload varies depending on the people that resign (so does your title) 4. $100 Christmas bonus 5. No matching 401k 6. Terrible health care plan (you better get your own) 7. Base salary is extremely low for the area and in comparison to the same job title in other companies 8. Inexperienced / nonexistent management and poor leadership 9. Non-technical people are paid hourly

Good place to start, bad place to stay after 2 years

Pros

- Nice office location - Good colleagues, most of them work hard - Good product

Cons

- I have to agree with most of what the previous poster says - Pay: mediocre at best, can get by if you are single - Benefits: non-existent, no 401k match, very expensive mediocre health insurance, no bonus (you get a $50 “bonus” around Christmas) - Employee development: non-existent, no human resources department, performance review is a joke, pay rise if any depends on whether the CEO is having a good day or not - Work timing: All hell breaks loose if you show up 5 minutes beyond your scheduled time for no good reason. However, no appreciation when you stay late and contribute
